Daily Notes for Tuesday September 15th. Sunshine and neighbors getting a "Heat Pump"

 Chicago's Jordan Marsh Blue Berry Muffins.

I've eaten them and they are worthy of every good thing written about them.

Woke up with one itchy eye.  Drops have been applied.

I recall reading Nancy Thayer books and will be doing some research. \

My Mouse Battery's are low and need to be recharged.  And is now doing just that.

If there are errors..excuse them...please. I can't move around as I usually do, and my itchy eye is BOTHERING me.

Garbage and Recycling Day....

So that's it... the weather has changed and I need to find and drag out my down comforter... and fold up and put away my cotton summer quilt.  And on that note I will hit publish and move to the couch and a book I have, I think, read before...even if it has echos of another book I recall reading. memories are doubling down.

Daily Notes for Monday September 14th. Lots of sunshine here in Maine... the back lawn is a bit greenerer.

 Helenium- Mardi-gras...... I hesitate to buy more flowers because my beds are full of WEEDS. 

I had a bad day yesterday and last night...today it's the Library and for once I have a LIST.  I'm tired.  My eyes are dry...I will add drops to each eye and sit quietly on the couch.  Until we go to the Library.  After Son goes out for lunch.  Top down on his car.

That's it for today....watched a bit of Football yesterday...not much and I lost interest pretty fast. I was fascinated by a German football game earlier in the day and loved hearing the accented English...took me back to very happy times.

I don't have a project for the Death Cleaning this week.  Most of the OLD wine bottles have been opened and emptied. The cupboard on  on the right of the fireplace is almost empty... the cupboard on the left of the fireplace was made for dry wood storage.  when we did the walk thru the Realtor asked if I was going to need fire wood and I said no and she gathered it all up and carried it to her car.   Son thinks this is where the fat black flies come into the house.

That's it...gonna be a very quiet day....

Daily Notes for Sunday September 13th. Raining here in Maine...can you believe it???????

 I've had my oatmeal.....but would like TOAST... there is enough bread... this looks like French toast... I have no eggs.

I have on 25 cent corduroy pants...defective ones from LLBean Employee shop.   A long sleeved tee shirt and a very nice (ironed) pale yellow linen blouse completes the outfit....I'm still cold.  

I center parted my hair for the first time..and I double that I will do this again....I recall the center part and the very long hair tied back while pregnant with Son.   I didn't have extra money for a haircut.  Husband was having trouble staying employed.. he hadn't applied to McDonald's as yet.......match made in Heaven as they say.

I think those early years of husband coming home to say he'd lost yet another job...are deep set...Why I wear my 25 cent corduroy pants and mend them as they wear out......new ones at Bean are about 80 dollars. I'm not going to live long enough to make 80 dollars worthwhile.  And all I do is sit on the couch. Well, I do get up to fill the bird baths and starch and iron shirts.  Yes...I iron.

We make Sunday Pizza and that's about it until I start making Vegetable Bean Soup for Winter Food.  In between Summer and Soup I make steamed rice and green peas with lots of butter and sweet soy sauce and bake sweet potatoes with the Pizza  on Sunday.  I like the sweet potatoes with melted Swiss cheese and butter.

Son uncorked and emptied the very very old dust covered wine bottles (improperly stored by me)......helping me with my  death cleaning project.   I have another shelf full of bottles I laid on their sides.  Hopefully the corks will hydrate. I doubt the wine is any good but it will be easier to remove the corks?????.

Well, I have the remainder of my current book to read and there are two and possibly three more in that  Brides series.  Then I will move on to something else.  Tomorrow is Library Day. So if there are more Brides...I hope my Library has them and that the shelf they are on is not too close to the floor..  I'll make a list today of what I own....so as not to duplicate.

And I think I will make myself some TOAST........why not?

Saturday, September 12th. Sunshine here in Maine. 69 degrees

 The internet provided me with four orange and yellow images of flowers...  thank you!!!

The sun is shining.... I'm happy whenever that happens. I'm going to be skipping a whole section of For All Time as they go back in Time....I've read it once or twice and it was enough......I'll page thru until they are back to the present.  Well, they're present and not mine...with cars and airplanes.

I'm tired.  Some of it is physical and most of it is emotional.  I get sad when I am tired.

I looked at flowers in pots when we visited the grocery store Friday.   But I walked past and didn't buy any.  I should have and had one of the pots on the front steps.....which reminds me to check the water levels in the birdbaths.......and anyway I should always be freshening up the water.....

I will buy flowers for myself next week when we shop....no matter how expensive they are.

I have a cartoon here on the desk. "The Good News is it's too late for you to have Early Onset Anything" which is actually sort of a positive thing?????
